Masala Chai

Description

To most Westerners, it is a little known fact that the word 'Chai' simply means 'tea' in Hindi. Therefore, all teas are technically chais. However, instead of the 'chai' that most Americans are used to (which usually contains really bad tea), we offer a Masala Chai tea - premium Ceylon black tea with a unique blend of spices; cinnamon, cardamon, and ginger.

Story

From the hieroglyphics on the walls of the pyramids, to the scriptures of the Bible, we find constant mention of the important part spices played in the lives of the ancients. Many of the spices, herbals and seeds we use today, were first cultivated by the early peoples of the western world. In fact, our word "aroma" was the ancient Greek word for "spice." Today, when spices cost so little, it is hard to imaging that once these fragrant bits were so costly, that men were willing to risk life and limb in search of them.

"This was my first “real” chai. All the others I’ve had were the powdered, syrupy sweet, instant varieties. Wow! What a difference! I love this stuff. I hit it with some hazelnut coffee creamer and Splenda. Can’t wait to try Adagio’s other chai varieties. They all sound great."

"Not bad. A definite departure from box chai mixes. Making this with soy milk makes a great latte"

"I am a huge fan of chai. Before purchasing Adagio's Masala Chai, I had tried many different chais from many different companies. Most were too bland for my taste. One I found that I liked was discontinued (I must have been the only person buying it). So I was very pleased to find the masala chai was very flavorful without being overwhelming. I liked my first purchase so much, I have signed up for auto delivery!"
